Sync Records Screen

Use the Sync Records screen to sync or discard offline timesheet data. You can choose to sync offline timesheet data right away or at a later time.

When you get back online and then log into the application, Costpoint Mobile T&E displays the available offline timesheets and prompts you to sync or discard offline timesheet data.

Note: The Sync Records screen only displays if you made changes to the timesheets when offline. Otherwise, the screen does not display even if you downloaded timesheets for offline time entry. In addition, you will not be able to sync records for timesheets with the period flag set to Closed or in a Processed status if you make changes to them when offline.

The table below provides information on the buttons display on this screen.

The table below provides information about the buttons on the screen if you tap Sync Offline Data and there are conflicts in your sync data. This occurs because you also have hours entered for a specific date while online besides the hours entered while offline. The Sync Records screen displays the number of conflicts in your data sync. You need to take action for each conflict to complete the sync.
